Chocolate Volcano

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany with opaque black-brown clarity, characteristic of a heavily roasted Imperial Stout. Dense, persistent head formation with strong lacing retention down the glass. Minimal carbonation visible, presenting a still, viscous body.

◌ Aroma

Pronounced dark chocolate and roasted cocoa on the front, supported by substantial roasted coffee and burnt malt undertones. The nose is rich and layered, with subtle hints of dark fruit and a warming alcohol presence that builds on extended nosing. No hop aromatics are evident; the focus remains entirely on roasted grain and cocoa adjuncts.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediately full and velvety, with bittersweet cocoa flavors establishing dominance across the palate. Mid-palate develops roasted grain complexity and a dry, lingering coffee bitterness that balances the cocoa sweetness. The 45 IBU contributes measured bitterness without harshness, allowing the chocolate character to remain the primary focus through the finish.

◑ Finish

Long and warming, with the alcohol heat (10% ABV) creating a pleasant lingering sensation. The cocoa-chocolate notes persist in the aftertaste alongside a dry, roasted coffee dryness that extends well into the throat.
